"The Burgomaster," 2:15 nd 8:15 p. m. GRAND Vaudeville. 2:15 and 8:15 p. m. PaRK -"Superba." i and 8 p. m. EMPIRE. American Burlesquers, 2 and I p. m. The most Interesting reports of Mrs. Campbell's first performance of Mr. Benson's play. "Aunt Jeannie," at the Garden Theater, New York, come from Mr. Towse, of She Evening Post, and Mr. Hapgood, of the Commercial Advertiser. When the English actress first appeared" In this country last winter Mr. Hapgood. having seen and been conquered by her ability in London, began and kept up a considerable boom for her here. For that both Mrs. Campbell and the public have to thank him. Mrs. Campbell is the most Important player in the present view, not only because of her skill In acting, but also on account of her intelligence in the selection of plays and the members of her company, when a critic helps her he helps the public culture. But as to "Aunt Jeannie" it seems that Mr. Hapgood's perception is not so sharp as It should be. He tells the story of the play thus: "Lady Nottingham's ward, Daisy, fanciea that she loves Lord Lindfleld. It Is her first affair, and she takes It with due seriousness. The peer, a man of many conquests, thinks it his best, and an engagement is presumably near. To them Mrs. Halton. Daisy's Aunt Jeannie. returns from Paris, where she has soothed the obscure last years of Daisy's elder sister, whose life and marriage Lindfleld has wrecked. Aunt Jeannie's one thought la to break off the peer's affair with Daisy, how her the manner of man he really is. and yet keep from her, as it has always been kept, knowledge of her sister's fate and his part in it. Accordingly. Mrs. Halton plies Lindfleld with all the fascinations and arts of a practiced woman of the world in full and charming maturity. By the end of Ascot week her conquest is complete. The girl suffers in youthful pride. Mrs. Halton's own betrothed tries to be generous and Is only puzzled. The girl breaks, asks an explanation, catches a hint from dates on a phtotgraph. learns from her aunt her sister's story, catches a hint of Lindfleld's place in it, flashes for a moment into resentment at the deceit on all ides and goes to cry to herself.' The peer, reading Mrs. Halton's engagement in the papers, comes. In turn, for an explanation. A hint from Aunt Jeannie as to the sister ends him away silent and sobered. And 00 she wins her game. xxx The playwright, says this critic, "is content to set on the stage a transcript of the little corner of life that he knows at first hand and that shall pleasantly interest at moments even stir by the truth and adroitness of his observation the wit and crisp significance of his dialogue, the felicity and consistency of his characterisation and the natural evolution of his action." Yet, from Mr. Hapgood's description of the matter of the play. Its significance Is trite and of slight value. It presents for the spectator's admiration the successful maneuver of a type of British matron very familiar. She is handsome, clever and serene. Instead of clearing up the troublous affair with one gesture, she goes through a long series of more or less theatric movements. The story is hardly credible and If taken as truth teaches one nothing new as to the rottenness of conventional society. Rather is that rottenness glossed over by the Benson play, for its heroine is an Idealized time-server and hlft-maker. Mr. Towse absurdly refers to Mrs. Campbell's Plnerp repertoire as of "unwholesome plays.' He is pleased at the actress's change of medium. However, his praise of her will be of good service when she produces 3udermann s "Long Life to Life " He says: "The role created for Mrs. Campbell by Mr. Benson gave her the opportunity to show in an eminent way the compass of her talent. That this Is great, that she has fine Intelligence as well s marked physical charm, that her art compels her to the simplest methods In producing overpowering effects, was put beyond question by her performance of last evening. Pitching the note low from the beginning, she played throughout with admirable restraint, yet with deep significance, and othen kept the audience in hush by the clear sincerity of her portrayal, so free from strain and exaggeration. It was a lesson In acting by which many a ranter might well proflt: a might also ome of the inarticulate mumblers of the current tage proflt by her beautifully distinct, yet low and smooth, elocution. No one could ee and hear her last night without feeling that her dropping of the disagreeable "women with a past." for a character with which Mr. Benson hadfltted her like glove to hand, marked a heightening, not only of the pleasure which she 1 able to give the public, but of her whole artistic prestige." XXX "The Burgomaster" will have two performances at English's to-day. Another Chicago musical comedy will be on view at this theater the first half of next week. It Is "The Storks." which has been running in Chicago all summer. Seats also may be purchased now for performances of "Beyond Pardon." a new drama, by a company that Includes Miss Lavlnla Shannon, at English's on Friday and Saturday of next week. xxx More business has been Offered to the Park Theater this week than it has been Able to handle. But the folks from the

country have gone home now, and city people will have two chances to see "Superba" to-day. The old apectacle has been renewed in spots and polished. xxx A favorite burlesque comedian, Sam Rice, will be a member of the Topsy Turvey Burlesquers at the Empire next week. W. B. Watson and Jeanette Dupree are at the head of the company that will close Its engagement with two shows to-day. XXX Bewildering, and. In many Instances, comical, are the attempts of the foreigners now playing in American vaudeville theaters properly to put before the public on lithographs the extent and detail of their work. The manufactory of "the King's English" is usually in charge of an employe who has a large dictionary and a limited personal knowledge of English words and phrases. During the past week, in the lobby at the Grand, there has been a gorgeous pictorial representation of the Riccobono performing horses. The artist was Russian and the explanatory lines under each picture are as follows: ' in full costume," "He takes of his coat." "He takes of his trousers," "He proceeds of his boots," and finally, with an Illustration of Mora, the "good-night horse," going to bed, the inscription conveys the following lucid explanation: "He takts of quilt. He pulls himself over himself." The European artist hunts up big words and makes use of them in a very ludicrous manner when touring this country. One of the Martinettl acrobats went into a dentist's office, and, having a badly ulcerated tooth. lookd up the exact wording of his speech in a Webster unabridged. This is the way he told it: "Please to extract unusual cavitv in mv teethf and nlare

M.lIJlr nucic 111. -Iii mom i urn iiku'- uiv. Needless to say any American trying to say the same thing in France would do equally badly. In the last nu;nbcr of Der Artist, published for vaudeville people at Düsseldorf, which conies each week to Sato, the Juggler, Is the following advertisement in English: "Col. G. Bordeverry Trio, the world greatest rifle and pistol shots. The only man in the world who can play at an ordinary piano at 25 feet distance operatica, etc., with his repeating rifles. Address 86 Avenue de la Gare, Z. Zt. Paris, Folies Bergere." m fe V.r. .-11 I . nnAlllato k A PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Mrs. M. Jones is spending several weeks In New York city.

CARS COME TOGETHER. Fortunately No One Waa Injured and Little Damage Done. On making the turn from Massachusetts avenue Into Pennsylvania street last night car No. 420 of the Central-avenue line collided with car No. 423 of the Pennsylvaniastreet line, which had stopped on the corner. The motorman of the Central-avenue car expected the other car to be out of his way by the time he made the turn and his wrong calculation caused him to run his car against the other with great force. The car was pushed off the track, but no serious damage done. The collision scared the passengers of both cars, the sudden shock and the darkness provoking screams from the women. John Johnson, a passenger on the Pennsylvania-street car, had his hand against the window sill when the two cars struck and he suffered a slight sprain of his wrist. Traffic on all lines running north and east of the city from this point was delayed until the Central-avenue car was put back on the track. A crowd of 300 people collected on the corner.

MAYOR AND ESTIMATES

HE WILL CONFER WITH THE COIACIL FINANCE COMMITTEE. There la Criticism of Some of the Redactions Agreed I pon Municipal Affair. Mayor Bookwalter wll confer with the Council finance committee as to the most desirable time for a Council meeting to pass the appropriations and tax levy ordinances for 1903. The mayor believes the meeting will be oh Monday or Tuesday evening. The charter requires the Council to pass these ordinances during September. Mayor Bookwalter expects an opinion from City Attorney Joss to-day on the effect of the firemen's Increase ordinance If it should be passed over the mayor's veto. It is believed that the passage of this ordinance after the reception of the estimates from the mayor will be held to be in effect, an increase of the appropriation for the fire force pay roll and being such would come within the prohibition of Section 50 of the charter. This section empowers the Council to decrease any item of the city budget, but forbids any increase without the approval of the mayor. Criticism of the reductions agreed to by the majority of the finance committee is being heard. The reduction of $200 in the salary fixed for City Sanitarian Buehler is regarded as particularly out of reason. Dr. Buehler has saved the city several thousand dollars by personally making diagnoses of smallpox cases. For this work the Taggart administration paid $10 a case. Since Dr. Buehler became sanitarian there have been 3S5 cases and there has been no charge for diagnoses. Controller Breunig figures that Dr. Buehler has already saved the city several thousand dollars and that the Increase has already been earned, without considering his services during the coming winter. Dr. Buehler says he will not continue the diagnoses if the reduction is made. Under the charter the Board of Health Is empowered to Increase the sanitarian's pay to not more than $2,000 and the board has done this. The controller does not believe the Council may legally make this reduction. In the reductions for electrical equipment of the police and fire telegraph systems the cut of $900 is also objected to. The superintendents of each system made very close estimates for next year and did so because they expected no decrease. They fear the decrease will lessen the efficiency of the service. The Democratic promises to support the tax levy ordinance and the ordinance making the appropriations, if amended as agreed to. are not depended on. The Republican majority will act together to pass both measures. Mayor Bookwalter is particularly displeased at the reduction in" the appropriation for public light. He says the Democratic administration took pains to place and abundance of lights in the Democratic wards before going out of office, but neglected the Republican wards like the First, Second, Third and Fourth. When this administration came into power it found more lights provided than there was money to pay for. The mayor thinks it will not be difficult to locate the responsibility for a failure to give adequate lighting in the wards named, particularly the Third and Fourth, if this reduction is supported by their councilmen. The mayor also says the annexation of Irvington brought a charge upon the city equal to half the Increase proposed In next year's estimates, and in addition more lights are needed.

Democrats will conduct this fall declared that It will be free from "boodle." "There will be no money used by the Democrats," he said, "except to pay our legitimate expenses, and we'll be in luck If we have enough to pay our expenses. And another thing you can figure on right now and all through this campaign and that is that there will be no money spent for beer at political meetings. This will be no beer campaign." Just when the Democrats are going to open their state campaign no one seems to know. Chairman O'Brien, when asked when the speechmaking would begin, replied that Benjamin F. Shlvely has been speaking in the State for some time. Asked if it could be said that the Democrats have already opened their campaign, the chairman turned to Thomas Taegart I and wanted to know if "Tom" thought this ' would be the right way to put It. Mr. Taggart and Mr. O'Brien are not dissimilar in one or two characteristics. They can stand a great deal of interviewing without the least embarrassment. They can also answer a great many questions without conveying anything like the desired information. Chairman O'Brien says that a meeting of his state committee will be held early In October. Effect of Oops en Politics. Senator E. H. Wolcott, one of the best known and among the most popular members of the upper house of the Indiana Legislature, was at the Denlson last night. He and Harry Strohm. editor of the Kentland Enterprise, sat In the lobby with a friend and for an hour or more discussed matters that had more or less of a political tinge. Both are Tenth district men, Senator Wolcott being a resident of White county and a leading cltisen of the thriving town that bears his name. "We have splendid crops in our part of the country," said the senator, "and of course that means a Republican victory." "Yes, that's right," remarked Strohm, "but. to tell the truth, there isn't very much politics out our way this year. The fact is employers are too busy chasing men down to get them to work to talk politics, and the men who are working are too busy to talk. It's a fact well known that In our county farmers were paying $3 a day this summer for harvest hands." "I've Just come from southern Indiana." the senator said, when it came his turn again, "and Jhe crops down that way are masniflcenx. I'll teil you right now that if

they keep on having good crops down there that part of the 8tate will soon be Republican."

W. W. Spencer's Opinion. Attorney W. W. 8pencer, in an opinion given to the Democratic State committee, holds that counties should nominate candidates for clerk of the Circuit Court where terms of the present clerk expire prior to the election of 1904, but after the election this year. In some counties both political parties have been undecided in regard to this matter. Warren G. $ayre in Tonn. Warren G. Sayre. of Wabash, a former speaker of the Indiana House of Representatives, and a candidate for re-election to membership In the House, was in town yesterday. He expects to be a candidate for the speakership at the approaching session. Address on Primary- Elections. Addison C. Harris has prepared an address on primary elections which he will deliver in this city at some convenient time this campaign. The address is of a nonpolitical character, but Mr. Harris will likely deliver it at a Republican meeting. GHOULS IN A GRAVEYARD COLORED GIRL' BODY STOLE FROM AXDERSOX CEMETERY. It Waa Found by the Mother at the Central College of Physicians and Surgeons. The news that the body of Stella Middleton had been discovered at the Central College of Physicians and Surgeons excited some of the residents of Irvington and Tuxedo yesterday. Stella Mlddleton was a colored girl, sixteen years old when she died, the daughter of a Mrs. Middleton that lives at No. 24 Gladstone avenue. The body was stolen from the Anderson burial ground, between Brightwood and Irvington. Wednesday night Mrs. Middleton, on returning home from a prayer meeting in Irvington, found a note under her door. The note stated that the body of her daughter had been removed from its resting place in the graveyard and could be found at the Central College. No name was signed to the note and Mrs. Middleton at first was Inclined to pay no attention to lit. She consulted with her relatives, with the result that a search warrant was obtained in Justice NIckerson's court. Mrs. Middleton and several relatives, accompanied by a constable, went to the college and the body of the girl was found lying on a cooling board with several other bodies. Mrs. Middleton remained until Undertaker Willis arrived and took it away. It was reburied yesterday. After the body was placed in the grave a number of heavy boards were placed over the coffin. To add to the mystery, Wesley Gates, residing at Maple avenue and Washington street, was called from his home Wednesday night and told by a stranger that probably the body of his daughter had been stolen. The stranger told Gates that someone In a carriage would like to talk to him Gates went out to the carriage and from behind the curtains of the carriage a muffled voice told him that a Klan had been made to steal the body of Is daughter from the Anderson graveyard. The stranger told Gates that If the body had been taken It could be found at the Central College. Thursday, Gates, with a few friends, went to the graveyard and dug away the earth of the grave and found that the body had not been taken. An investigation of surrounding graves disclosed the fact that they had been tampered with. After the robbery became known, the police department was notified and Captain Gerber assigned several detectives on the case. Dr. Allison Maxwell, dean of the Central College, said he knew of the body of the Middleton girl being brought to the college, but he did not know from where it came. He said the college made Its arrangements with the demonstrator of anatomy. Dr. Joseph C. Alexander, by which the latter provides the college with bodies for dissecting purposes and the college had nothing to do with it. He said the body was brought to the college by a colored man, and he thought the colored man was paid for it by Dr. Alexander. SCHOOL CHILDREN WILL HELP. They Will Interest Parents In Technical School Movement. The plan proposed by the committee of ten, that is assisting in the task of raising subscriptions for the technical ' institute fund, that the school children of the city help the cause along by Interesting their parents, has received the approval of C. N. Kendall, superintendent of schools. No subscription lists will be carried by the children; their assistance will be simply to work up interest. Sol C. Dickey, who Is actively at work raising money for the institute, has issued a signed statement from the executive committee. It is in the form of a general communication to the people respecting the importance of the technical school movement. Dr. Dickey sets out that there is great need of a school along new lines; that such a school should be national in all its interests, and that the board of directors already appointed for the proposed school are men of large means and will see to the endowment of the school. "We do not propose to educate boys for the ministry or the so-called learned professions," the statement says. "The trend of teaching will be away from the professions and in the direction of training students In the theory, principles and practice of higher mechanics; the principles and practical application Ol electricity in all its branches, metallurgy, forge work, etc. The common branches will be taught and there will be military Instruction. There will be no charity students and no free endowment." The fund was increased yesterday about $1,900. Ferd and Charles Mayer subscribed $1,000, a lumber dealer gave $200, Henry Coburn $100, and there were numerous small subscriptions. NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT. Question of Quarters for the Veterans at Washington. In reply to a letter from Assistant Adjutant General Smock, of the Indiana G. A. R., Adjutant General S. H. Fowler, of the National Association, has written the following letter from the headquarters in Minneapolis relative to the assignment of free quarters during the National Encampment to be held in Washington from Oct. 6 to 11: "About lf.000 have applied for free quarters, involving hundreds of letters, and It has been very difficult for us to keep up with the work. "My stenographer and myself have been working night and day. We also find difficulty in getting halls in which to quarter the men. I think, however, that we will be able to take care of all, though we may have to put a couple of thousand In a camp. Will not do so if we can avoid it." Judging from the number of applications for berths on the official train from Indianapolis to Washington and of the inquiries relative to rates and accommodations for the visiting old soldiers, many delegates will go from Indiana. Adjutant General Smock thinks. The distance to this encampment is greater than to the last, but notwithstanding this he expects nearly as many old soldiers to go from Indiana as went last year. Mr. Smock has received from the citizens' executive committee In Washington letters requesting the presence of as many Indiana comrades as can go to the encampment. In the letters B. H. Warner, chairman of the committee, invites the attendance in the name of the citizens of Washington, and says that Congress and the President have done everything possible to make the encampment a success. Thievea In a Grocery. The grocery of Elmer Hoss, 2920 Bloyd avenue. In Brightwood, was entered early yesterday morning and robbed. A large amount of fresh and smoked meats and about worth of tobacco wero-atoleu.

ABOUT EYES Glasses Are Not Always erc Parent are often advised to get gltsiet for their children by the school authorities who attribute the weak, watery condition of the eyes of the child to some defect in the vision, and do not realize that the trouble may arise from the common practice of coffee drinking. A caae in point: Mrs. C. E. Knapp, of Elyrla. O.. says: "Six months ago we wers a family of invalids; my husband, myaelf and two children were all afflicted with stomach trouble. I would get so faint before It was time for regular meals, and after eating had pain and distress In the stomach, which felt as though there was a hard lump in there. I felt drowsy and stupid most of the time. If I was out In the wind my eyes would water so It hindered me from seeing. "My son was the worst afflicted. His eyes blurred so they hindered his progress in school, and we thought It would be necsnflnally had him bring bis reader home, with sary to have them treated. His teacher word that I have him read an hour each day out of school. He could not read a paragraph without stopping to wipe his eyes or close tl.em. We were grest coffee drinkers, especially my boy. but never thought that was the cause of our trouble until I read an article on the subject In tho Cleveland paper. "We were discussing It at table one usy and my daughter said: I know it Is coffee that hurts me. for when I do not drink it I do not have that lump in my stomach.' My boy said: 'A lump i nothing; every time I drink coffee my fingers prickle Juat as though they were asleep ' I was both scored snd astonished at such Information, and told them I had made the last em coffee I ever would for home use. I got a package of Postum Food Coffee and tried It for our next meal, and we soon learned to like it and think it better than coffee. "We have none of us been troubled with our stomacha since we commenced to use It. Our ayes do not water any more when In the wind; our cheeks and lips are red instead of blue or purple when we are out in the cold; the drowsy feeling has left, and the prickly feeling haa entirely left my aon. We uae it twice a day. snd give it freelv to my twenty montha old babe. We find It better and ch-Pr than coffev. We cannot speak too highly of Its merits, for we know ws owe the change In our benitb to Postum Cereal Coffee."
